PRLENTS (PRototype Rust LENTS) is a version of LENTS written in the style of Rust CLI tools like ripgrep, zoxide, and fd.

Commands

Usage: lents <command> <operator> <arguments>

ENTS commands use inverse function mapping - one to many, not many to one. This is chosen so the first argument of one type can have many arguments (that are of a different type than the first and are all of a similar type) after it

`process`

Takes an ENTS file and processes it to a datafile.

Usage: lents process [tags.ents]
Notes: no additional operators or arguments
Alias: parse

Roadmap

A single command alias gents (for Global ENTS) can be configured to run as a shorthand for a path, typically root / or home directory ~. When looking for tags.bson in another directory, it is specified as the argument for the flag -d.
